DEVELOPING THE CREATIVE MIND THROUGH STEM
We offer afterschool, weekend, and summer programs
At Xing Academy Robotics, we are dedicated to providing the most enjoyable STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning experiences for our children.
We believe robotics is one the best vessel for fostering critical real-world skills (teamwork, communications, and creativity) that transcend technological and AI (artificial intelligence) advancements. We are passionate in developing this curiosity and love for STEM starting with our youngest learners to seasoned builders who are looking to advance their knowledge and imagination. Our program introduces and integrates robotics, coding, AI, and 3D model/printing to our youngest learners.
Our Program Team
Program Director
Jimmy Pham, is a builder that loves to create fun and novel things integrating hardware and software. From Scratch game programming, robotics, AI, to 3D models and printing, Jimmy enjoys developing integrated STEM projects for his young twins and is passionate to showing our children the wonder and possibilities with robotics and AI. He is a Senior Executive and Technologist delivering leading edge AI powered software solutions. He holds a B.S.E in Computer Engineering from University of Pennsylvania and is a SASE (Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers) Information Technologist of the Year Winner.
Robotics & AI Projects Director
Dr. Eric Cheng, is a father of two elementary aged boys and enjoys playing chess and working on STEM projects with them. He is Space Sensor Lead Engineer at Johns Hopkins APL (Applied Physics Lab), holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering. From MIT innovations to NASA robotic missions, he brings nearly two decades of experience to the classroom. Eric is dedicated to inspiring the next generation through fun, creative STEM and robotics education.
WHAT MAKES OUR CLASSES DIFFERENT?
Integrated Themed Projects
We strongly believe in introducing fun but also real integrated (robotics, AI, coding, and 3D printing) projects even to our youngest learners. Being resourceful and having hands-on creation using all these technologies will unlock our kids imagination.
Real-World Concepts & Topics
We tailor lessons to highlight and apply what our kids are learning in school. Specifically how math is used and themed science and environmental topics.
Accessible to All
Our programs are not tailored for just formal competitions. While we love the experience that robotic competitions provide the kids, our focus is on providing ALL our students with opportunities to participate in joyful, engaging, and friendly team challenges. Throughout the year, we have lessons that foster that friendly competition. We want to build the joy and confidence early.
